    A Step by Step

    Writing Response Strategy

    for MATH!

  • Note to the Teacher

    With the shift to Common Core standards, I found that students were required to not only work math problems, but explain them as well. My students struggled with how to create an organized structure for these writing responses. This is when I came up with RAPS. I have seen multiple strategies that help students remember what to include in their writing responses. This one works well for my students, and I hope you find it useful in your classroom as well!

    I decided to include spelling, capitalization, and punctuation as a motivating reminder for students to write correctly. Whether or not you assess this as a math grade is completely up to you! Personally, I like to encourage writing across the curriculum.

    Happy Teaching!

    - Answer the question. 9.

    - What is the value of the following expression:(90-48) 6 + 2

    The value of the expression is.

    - Explain how you know youre correct using numbers and words.I used the order of operations to find my answer. First, I did the subtraction in the parenthesis. (90-48) =42. Then, I divided by 6 to get the quotient of 7.

    Finally, I added 2 to get a sum of 9.

    - Check your sentences to be sure your spelling, punctuation, and capitalization is correct.
